A study of the histories of ideas from the thought of René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon and Seyyed Hossein Nasr - with a tematic focus on their understanding of tradition, essence and hermeneutics, and the relation between Islam and Christianity.

In this paper I look at text and the history of ideas from Guenon, Schuon and Nasr. Central themes are:

Traditionalism and perennialism (objective and eternal metaphysics). Modernity and critique of civilization. Pluralistic theology of religions. Sufism and new age-spiritituality. Right-wing political ideologies, fascism and neo-eurasianism.
